OVERALL: R2

The German limited edition for the additional commentary and the 5.1 track.

General notes
All the current releases are what Tobe Hooper approved back in the days, and there is no alternate, longer version (even when there are some "Deleted scenes"). This film has never been officially rated "R" in the US, it has always been "Unrated" (some sources still list this as "R-rated"). Old LD is the same as the current DVDs.
